BOP Classes

Wish you could get that spring back in your step?
Lost confidence walking over different terrain?
Feeling unsure about your balance or scared of falling ?

Our Balance and Osteoporosis Class (BOP) is designed to help those who are struggling with falls, poor balance, low confidence, increasing needs for assistance, or known low bone density. Basically, anyone who is finding that life is getting a little more difficult as they age, and needs some help getting back to where they’d like to be.

BOP is also suitable for individuals of any age who have experienced events like mild head injuries or concussions affecting their balance, or those who have recently lost strength and are seeking a gentle and manageable way to rebuild.

WHY TRY BOP?

• Preventing falls, staying strong and keeping independance
• Falls are the leading cause of serious injury to people aged 65 and over
• Broken bones from falls or poor bone density often result in surgery, loss of function and loss of independence
• Most things we think of as a 'normal' part of ageing are actually reversible
• Prevention is always better than a cure - the sooner you start taking care of your body, the sooner you'll notice positive changes
• Regular exercise is important for everyone , all ages, levels of fitness and health status
• An illness or injury can put anyone back behind where they'd like to be, but it's possible to regain what you've lost with gentle and consistent guided activity
• BOP is a great way to meet new people and get social!

Things to know about BOP

BOP runs every Tuesday at 1.30pm. While there is no set number of classes for BOP, we recommend committing to 10 consecutive weeks to begin to see positive results. Less than this generally isn't enough to notice meaningful change. If you'd like to continue beyond 10 weeks there is always the option - speak to the therapist about this.

Assessment
We request that you arrange a full assessment with a therapist prior to signing up for BOP. This is so that we can see if BOP is suitable for you, and also to address many of the other factors that can be part of your story to help you achieve your best health.

In order to know that our class is having a positive impact for you, we will also do some physical tests and a questionnaire before you start and upon completion of the class. For full details, please speak to your treating therapist in your first assessment
